    SERIOUSLY.. WHY THO…. you guys have nothing to do or what.. better u had go and visit haiti instead… what do people in st martin want to hear from you.. they run from the country that couldnt provide a better lively hook for them… or u want to secure their names and adress for next election to send their tickets for them because you guys are in more hot water and need more diaspora votes

    A visit to the Caribbean I islands that suffered loss of life and damage would be more useful in light of the P M trying to mobilize assistance for the inhabitants. It is now high time that His Excellency earn his keep for that Lion share of a salary that he is being paid.

    I hope the st Marsden Dominicans asked the hard questions. One such question should be , Sir given your experience in the CSA as General Secretary and chief negotiator on behalf of civil servants and given the fact that later as a diplomat under freedom party government which required you to consult and negotiate with international agency and foreign countries. Whether you Sir are now comfortable with the New meaning given to the word “consultation” by Skerrit. Given your vast experience on consultation on what basis was the deputy chief of police appointed knowing that there was no consultation as you know it from experience.

    Never heard of the Dominica foundation of St. Maarten. There is no reference for them whatsoever on the web. Who are they? Not some pseudo- organization of the DLP I trust that are paid to come and vote here?

    Dominicans are a set of mischievous minded people for U to tell me a man like Angelo Savrin that is helping to keep D/ca in poverty, and those people that were able to escape the poverty by going to the Foreign have the gouts to invite that man to come and rotten their heads to come to D/ca to vote
    No WONDER the PM of Grenada said that Dominicans are much less educated than the rest of the people of the region, and he is not referring to ur. degrees or ur. Dr. rate, I support him 200% some Dominicans are like Donkey Holes!

    • That is the way most Dominicans behave!

      And mind you it is all for a show; what are they going to benefit from his visit, except if that is a ploy to get their name on a list for next election he will know how many tickets to send to them so that they can get a free flight home vote Skerrit back in office to keep the country in poverty.

      Some of them in the so called association might be sleeping in old abandoned cars, on a scrap heap, and might be glad for a free flight home! Our people are nothing more than a bunch of sick people!

      Why YOU ALL didn’t save what ALL YOU gave Lennox for him to pay the Prevey Council? That could have gone a long way in helping.

    could careless as a citizen his Presidency embedded with issues…

    he is one of those folks sucking the cow till it’s dead….he doesn’t care if the island will never return from the ashes for a revival…… ..

    history will see him as a poorly rated president, but the capt fits him, with that crooked outlook…
